See Documentation/SubmittingPatches which explains what "Fixes:" means.

That same file also contains info in section 2) how to write commit
messages.

Please read it, it'll help you significantly if you're planning on
sending more patches to LKML.

Oh, and also, please don't use any web pages archiving lkml as pointers
but the kernel.org redirector:

http://lkml.kernel.org/r/<Message-ID>

or

http://lkml.kernel.org/g/<Message-ID>

(that second one redirects to gmane)

HTH.
